Video: How the brain’s functional geometry could encode dimensions of the mind
Consciousness is a multidimensional phenomenon, but key dimensions such as awareness and wakefulness have been described conceptually rather than neurobiologically. Drs. Zirui Huang, George A. Mashour, and Anthony G. Hudetz…

Drs. Zirui Huang, George Mashour and Anthony Hudetz published in Nature Communications
What it means to be conscious is more than just a philosophical question. Researchers continue to investigate how conscious experience arises from the electrochemical activity of the human brain. The answer has important implications for the way brain health is understood, from coma, wherein a person is alive but unable to move or respond to his or her environment, to surgical anesthesia, to the altered thought processes of schizophrenia.
Researchers from the University of Michigan and Marcus Institute for Aging Research receive more than $13 million in funding to study the prevention of delirium in older adults
The study is funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
Drs. Giancarlo Vanini and George Mashour (multi-PIs) awarded an NIH R01 to study brain mechanisms underlying sleep-dependent cognitive dysfunction after surgery
From the Researchers: Our long-term goal is to understand the mechanisms by which sleep-related networks regulate cognition in surgical and critical care patients. The goal of the proposed research is…
Dr. Duan Li published a Reader’s Toolbox article in Anesthesiology, which elaborates on brain complexities and anesthesia for the sake of anesthesiologists
A complex system is often associated with the emergence of new phenomena from the interactions between the system’s components.
